The 44th Croatian Seminar for Foreign Slavic Studies Students will be held in Dubrovnik from 17th August to 28th August 2015. By attending lectures and participating in language exercise courses and seminars, our students will have the opportunity to improve their knowledge of Croatian language and to study different linguistic, literary, historical and cultural topics. The basis of the academic part of the programme are the lectures. This year's topic of the lecture cycle is The Other. Alterity, identity, contact in Croatian language, literature and culture. Twelve experts from different fields will present recent views on this topic.

The School applies the following educational methods for the specialization of foreign Croatian Studies students: language exercise courses/seminars, theme cycles of lectures, facultative programme, cultural events and field trips. Lecturers, language exercise course and seminar teachers, as well as programme coordinators are in most part members of the Department of Croatian Studies, but also lecturers from other departments of the Zagreb Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as lecturers of the University of Zagreb and other Croatian universities.
